Soil Fertility Is Easily; Held on Terraced Land 0 experiment station farm near Guthrie, Okla., last year a field cultivated for the first time produced 75 per cent more lint cotton per acre than another field that had been cultivated for 30 years, according to the United States department of agriculture. The old field produced 89 pounds per acre, the new At the soil-erosi- on I fie 156 pounds. j Both fields were terraced before the crop was planted last year, and otherwise were treated exactly alike. 'The poor yield of the old Held, the department explains, is a result of the removal of great quantities of plant food during thin 80 years not alone by cropping, however but by the gradual washing away of the rich top soil, plant food and all, by sheet erosion. A soil survey had shown that each field originally had a surface slope of about o per cent; that erosion had taken from the old field from 10 to 16 inches of the surface soil, and that practically no erosion had occurred in the virgin Held. Both Helds originally were of the same type of soil. ' The terraces on the eroded field have prevented further loaa of soil, the department says, but it will take several years and roust labor and expense to restore the soil to its former pro ductivity. Terraces on the new lam will prevent loss by erosion and the fertility of the soil can be maintained - Paul .Whiteman Invades Sound Pictures with 'The King of Jazz ; New York City A very era sony hit Indeed li "Ragamuf-fl- n Romeo," composed by Mabel Wayne tor thesound revue King ef Jan John Murray Anderson, director, ordered the song by telegraph from Hollywood.

Wasatch Wav State Two Break Jail While Celebration Goes On While merrymakers at the Farm-ngto- n hotel were celebrating Pioneer day early Thursday morning, a trio of thugs took advantage of the noise of firecrackers to deliver Roy Thomas, 18, and Elwood Adams, 17, from the Davis county jail, a few steps JM t 4 i :) tj f away. The jail break was executed at 2:30 a. m., Davis county authorities believe, after friends of Thomas had smashed a hole through the east jail wall and broken the cell door locks. Deputy Sheriff Horace Van Fleet waa notified of the delivery at 3 a. m. by Claude Anderson and James Turner, cellmates of the escaped prisoners, who refused to participate in the de- livery. Thomas was awaiting trial in Second district court on a robbery charge as a result of an assault upon Blanche Price, 27, of Salt Luke, several weeks ago at Lagoon. Adams was being held on a grand larceny charge in connect Timmons, held on a liquor charge; Tommy Steffis, serving a burglary sentence, and Harry Tunnia, serving a term for involuntary manslaughter. Anderaon also is serving an involuntary manslaughter sentence, while Turner waa released Sunday from morals charge. ' Anderaon reported to the deputy sheriff that, after the trio had entered through the hole in the wall, they threatened to kill him if ho "squealed." Tunnia and Steffis reported that the trio used braces and bits, crow bars, hack sawa and sledge hammers to effect the delivery. Implements wore taken from a tool shed near the jail, used in the construction of the new Davis county courthouse. The escape waa complete in lees than an hour, the prisoners said. First the wall waa smashed in with crow bare and braces and bits, while sledge hammers were used to break the cell locks. The noise of the hammer blows waa drowned out by the sound of firecrackers exploding in the nearby hotel yard, the prisoners reported. Immediately after the escape Deputy Van Fleet notified authorities throughout Utah and a statewide search waa launched for the fugitives. It is believed that they may be in hiding in Salt Lake, Van Fleet said, since Bountiful Marshal Orvis Mann reported seeing four men in a touring car headed toward the city at S:45 a. m. Anderson and Steffis escaped from the jail four months ago, but were arrested in Green River, Wyo., and returned. Anderaon, with Tunnia, was sentenced in connection with the recent deaths of Miss Mary EUa Chase and Mrs. Louise Savage in Centerville. The women died after being hit by an automobile driven by the youths.

The stand is equipped withs burg lar alarm and when the men entered they touched off the alarm. Mr. Florence was awakened and summoned the aid of Ernest and Lee Burnham, neighbors, while Mrs. Florence called Deputy Sheriff Horace Van Fleet When Mr. Van Fleet arrived at the scene, Mr. Florence and the Burnhams had the men lined up at the points of guns, and the oficcr placed the men under arrest They are being held in the county jail for triaL tion with an auto theft at Layton.

Tne department of agriculture, si The first carload of potatoes to be shipped from Davis countjrjthis season left Layton last week. They grown by Richard Day and David Ste-venson. H. P. Matthews, district agricultural inspector, aaid the potatoes which were of the Irish Cobbler variety, were in good condition. This shipment waa made two weeks earlier than the first shipment of last year. In 1927-2- 8 infestation of psyllid did much damage to the potato crop. This year the payllid damage la not as great partly because the potato crop is earlier and the payllid attacks later in the season. In 1828, 15 can of potatoes were shipped from Davis county: in 1929 25 can were shipped. Mr. Matthews expects shipment to exceed the 1929 shipment this year. He said that the 25 per cent less yield per acre is 20 to n that last year. r A alight increase in the acreage planted in the north end of the county makes up for the '55? o 5. -- : . ot lessened yield.
